I need an electronic copy of TM9-2350-256-10, which is an operator's manual for a M88A1 (apparently no manual was published on the M88). If anyone out there has one, drop me an email at ddoyle9570 at aol.com. I'm in a bit of a bind to meet a deadline. Thanks, David Doyle

As I contemplate work on a six-by - a question comes to mind..... On more than one occassion I've longed for faster-stopping brakes on my bone-stock five-ton. Anybody here made any mods to this system that resulted in reduced stopping distance? Anyone added a dual-circuit system to a...

Guys, a friend of mine contacted me this evening seeking the whereabouts of this gun truck replica. Anybody seen this vehicle at a show or in a museum? Thanks, David Doyle

Guys, I am parting out a military fire truck built on a deuce chassis. From past conversations, I know many of you are working on these vehicles. Please take a look at my classified ad here on SS and see if there are any parts that will help you with your projects...

Guys, I've got a fair library of manuals, but I am several miles from them now. Could someone tell me the model number of the Zenith carb fitted to some R6602 engines in G-744 five-tons (specifically, the M62)? Once upon a time, I had this memorized, now if I could just find my mind...

Greetings Fellows... After spending years playing with deuces, I've gotten familiar with the meaning of the different VINs. Since I am now getting some requests for info on CUCV - I need a quick education. What characters in the vins distinguish the different models (1008, 1009, 1028, 1031...

There is a tremendous amount of confusion among MV collectors about OD - and particularly, 24087. I've done a few years research into this (and, no doubt, will do a few more) and will try to provide some clarification. First of all - BEWARE -- don't confuse colors with numbers. Today's Federal...

Hi fellows, Several years ago I helped my dad restore a couple of M37s....so I have some basic experience with Dodges. I've owned a "sort of" CMU-5 for several years - and am preparing to begin the restoration of this. Does anyone have any tips? I say sort of - because the truck has a CMU-5...

Anybody on the board with a M817, please PM me - I have a couple easy questions. Thanks, David

Hi guys! I am trying to pinpoint the purpose/use/era of a different type of deuce hardtop. The first photo below is what I consider to be the standard military deuce hardtop rear window. The second photo is the odd variation. This is on a truck direct from military surplus (no dealers...

If anyone here has one, I'd like to buy it, borrow it, or simply have you look up some info in it. Trying to wrap up a book project. Thanks for any help. Regards, David Doyle

Was purusing some trucks listed by GL near me (I'm in Tennessee). Incredibly, one of the trucks is plainly and neatly stencilled recruiting for the New Jersey National Guard. Ya' know, there is also a GL site Lakehurst NEW JERSEY. I'm pretty sure this wasn't GL's idea to transport them down...

The fire truck hidden in the background of a photo in another thread brought on some comments - so here it is. The first photo is of the truck as I bought it. The second photo is with restoration about 90% done. The third photo is after I had to walk away from the project for about 4 years...

This deuce (yep, its a gasser deuce) was sold by GL back in 2002 down at Montgomery, Alabama. Hoping its resting in a yard somewhere down there. Any hints, PM me. Thanks, David Doyle

One of the most comprehensive restorations I've done, and the subject of the very first article I had published in a magazine, was the restoration of this Studebaker M45 with LeRoi 210G1 compressor. With the help of my dad and son, I restored the truck as close to possible to factory...

I'm not interested in buying it - but there is a truck there I'd like someone to take a look at for research purposes. Please drop me a note. Thanks, David Doyle

I'd like to correspond with owners of 1969-produced two and 1/2 ton trucks. If you are not sure what model your truck is, IF the truck is ex-army, and if its original registration number (NOT manufacturer's serial number) is known - the last two digits of the registration number are "69". I...

Found this in an official document: "Though not a maintenance fault, failures of multifuel engines created the requirement for a major off-shore maintenance effort and a sizeable supply problem. In January 1967, more than 300 5-ton trucks were deadlined in Vietnam because of inoperative...
